Chapter 278 The person is missing
Yi Qianhuan, who had originally planned to confront the Queen Mother, narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Chilian.
She didn't need Ji Chilian to come out and help her smooth things over.
Who among those present could not see that there was a lot of water in what the Queen Mother said today?
So, the person she started to criticize was the Queen Mother.
Even if the Queen Mother was angry, she would still say that in the end, both sides would be destroyed, and she still had a way to escape perfectly.
"You are wrong, Governor. I am killing my own relatives for the sake of justice this time, so how can you say it is a frame-up? I heard that Qin Xue was quietly taken away from the cell, but I wonder if you know who is so bold and presumptuous?" Qin Zhang raised his eyebrows at Ji Chilian proudly.
"This person is me," Ji Chilian said, without any hesitation in his tone or expression.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
No one expected that Yi Qianhuan was so brave, but Ji Chilian was even braver than Yi Qianhuan!
Yi Qianhuan also looked at Ji Chilian with some surprise.
Ji Chilian has always been a steady person. He suddenly blew himself up this time. I think he must have been fully prepared.
Just as Yi Qianhuan was thinking this, a Jinyiwei rushed in from outside the door and knelt down in front of everyone: "Master Du, this is bad, the head of the Qin Xue family is missing!"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Chilian's expression darkened: "Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on Tan Xue?"
"Yes, our subordinates did treat them with courtesy, but we didn't expect that Qin Xue would sneak attack our people, leave a letter and leave in a hurry."
Ji Chilian frowned, took the letter handed to him by the Jinyiwei, and read the contents carefully.
Seeing Ji Chilian turning his head to look at him with a serious expression, Yi Qianhuan did not expect such a change to happen.
"Humph, Qin Xue is a traitor to the end, you were just deceived by her disguise!" Qin Zhang knelt down in front of Bei Yunting while speaking, "Your Majesty, the governor took the initiative to kidnap Qin Xue from prison, causing the traitor Qin Xue to be missing now. His intentions are obvious!"
"Your Majesty, it still needs to be determined whether the head of the Qin Xue family is plotting a rebellion." Yi Qianhuan recalled Qin Xue's performance last time, and said after bowing.
"If Qin Xue really has a clear conscience, why would she run away? Governor, if you want to excuse yourself, you should at least bring Qin Xue here!" Qin Zhang became more and more proud as he spoke, his eyes full of insolence.
When watching Tan Zhang speaking, he could vaguely see the evil spirit rolling between his brows. Yi Qianhuan could tell from Tan Zhang's face that he was definitely not a good person.
She always felt that there was something fishy about Qin Xue's disappearance, but she couldn't guess exactly what had happened.
"What Patriarch Qin said is true. If Qin Xue really had a clear conscience, she shouldn't have left the entire family behind. This shows that she was indeed rebellious, and therefore left in a hurry because she was worried that her crimes would be exposed." Bei Yunting said this and sighed heavily, "Forget it. Now that things have come to this, it seems that the current Patriarch Qin is the one who is loyal to me."
Qin Zhang knelt on the ground and bowed to Bei Yunting: "My loyalty to Your Majesty is evident to all, and I have a clear conscience! Your Majesty, from what happened today, it can be seen that only Helian Ziyu is suitable to become the national god. Please judge for yourself and return the Uncrowned Mirror to Helian the National God."
"It's not over just handing the Uncrowned Mirror to Zi Yu. This time, Ji Chilian, Yi Qianhuan and Yi Mobao framed Zi Yu and even broke into the prison to let the traitor go. They forcibly opened the ancient formation. Their crimes are numerous and innumerable. Your Majesty must punish them severely and not tolerate them!" The Queen Mother seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. She glared at Yi Qianhuan fiercely while speaking.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was targeting Yi Qianhuan, Helian Ziyu felt even more proud: "Mother, it's not that I don't believe you and Lord Du, but now that things have come to this, the evidence is irrefutable. If Patriarch Qin Xue could prove her innocence here, you might still have a chance of survival. Unfortunately, Patriarch Qin Xue has disappeared."
He knew very well that Qin Xue was now in Jinghua's hands, so Yi Qianhuan and the others were already in a dead end.
Yi Qianhuan always felt that Qin Xue's affairs were inextricably linked to Helian Ziyu.
Unfortunately, she had no evidence to prove her guess.
"I beg the emperor to give me your due regard and return the Uncrowned Mirror to the God of Helian State!" After Qin Zhang said this, he and a group of Qin family members behind him knelt down in unison.
"Mother, what should we do next? If Helian Ziyu gets the Crownless Mirror, he will definitely cause an even bigger disturbance."
"I understand. This Uncrowned Mirror must not fall into Helian Ziyu's hands no matter what." Yi Qianhuan lowered his voice and protected the Uncrowned Mirror in his arms.
She had even made plans to break out of the siege with the Crownless Mirror.
"In other words, as long as the head of the Qin family, Qin Xue, can show up here and prove her innocence, then Qin Xue, as the innocent head of the Qin family, can prove who the Uncrowned Mirror should belong to." At this moment, Ji Chilian, who should have been forced into a desperate situation, suddenly said.
Hearing the hidden smile in Ji Chilian's words, Yi Qianhuan turned his head to look at the man.
Ji Chilian didn't look panicked at all and gave a wink to the Jinyiwei beside him.
The Jinyiwei who had just rushed in in a panic immediately retreated.
Then, Ji Chilian stood straight and bowed to Bei Yunting, "The matter of the national god involves many things. In order to get the truth, I had to lie. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Bei Yunting's eyes became meaningful: "Chi Lian, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Your Majesty, the head of the Qin Xue family did not escape, but was secretly protected by me. I firmly believe that the head of the Qin Xue family is innocent. As long as the head of the Qin Xue family can prove her innocence today, she is an innocent person who was calculated by Qin Zhang and others. Then what Qin Zhang and others said is naturally not credible." Ji Chilian clapped his hands while speaking.
The Jinyiwei who had just retreated supported Qin Xue and walked into the Guangming Hall.
Yi Qianhuan saw some scratches on Qin Xue's face that he had never seen before, and noticed that Qin Xue looked much more disheveled than before.
"Governor, what a calculation." Yi Qianhuan lowered his voice and finally understood why Ji Chilian was acting just now.
If Qin Xue had been there from the beginning, Qin Zhang and Helian Ziyu would definitely have tried their best to distance Qin Xue from what happened last night.
Before Qin Zhang wanted to use his status as the head of the Qin family to possess Huayu, Ji Chilian pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger, and raised the status of Qin Xue's head of the family.
Next, as long as they can prove that Tan Xue is innocent, they can first eliminate Tan Zhang, which will also implicate Helian Ziyu and even the Queen Mother.
"Qin Zhang, you are my brother! Over the years, I, as your elder sister, have never done anything to let you down, but you hurt me like this. You really disappoint me!" Qin Xue was heartbroken and pointed at Qin Zhang's nose and scolded him.
Qin Xue had always been strong. In the past, Qin Zhang was like a mouse seeing a cat in front of her. Now, he was so scared that his feet were shaking: "Impossible! You clearly, clearly have..."
